I've been working on myself and trying to be a better person. I've seen the beauty of nature and see how the entire history biosphere has made me and the bacteria i rely on and the food i eat. i learned to love every living thing because i can use them to influence events well beyond my death. I should learn to love other people because they're the most capable species
It doesn’t sound like narcissism (from my own experience with narcissistic people). It sounds more like you are having some sort of episode. I’d strongly, strongly suggest getting in touch with a professional. I genuinely hope you are okay.
yeah. agreed. this is someone going through something, and drawing an intense and overly corrective conclusion. perhaps from a over developed sense of shame or guilt that has lead them to this conclusion.
or perhaps they were in a relationship with a narcissist and that person has manipulated them into being their are the narcissist... and need to warn others about it... that is something a narcisst would do to someone else!
i once had a relationship with a very unwell person, who tried to convince me of my own mental illness, which was a projection of their own. this person was also a practicing therapist... and i never realized how horrible it all was until a like 2 years later i saw therapist who pointed out to me how this fucked up and horrible this person really was and how unprofessional it was. esp because they basically like went down the dsm 5 and kept trying to convince me i had SOMETHING.
Man reading your evaluation of me is interesting. Mostly just a shot in the dark damn they really wanted to practice psychology, do see other narcissist have a hard time hiding their narcissism from other people, I probably have a subtle aura around me
No, you're just dumb and delusional and full of yourself.
That's not narcissism, it's you being an average person. Most people think they have magical auras. They are wrong.
and your here on the internet, trying to bias-confirm yourself about how special and unique and amazing you are. just like everyone else.
... I'm not calling the "subtle aura" magical, it's just short hand for how my demeanor hints at my narcissism 😑
Love the hostility I'm getting and the finger wagging I'm getting.
all of which means you're not a narcissistic dude.
narcissists don't enjoy finger wagging and hostility. they hate it and they fly into a rage when it's done to them.
why is it that you want so badly to be a narcissist? because it will give you a excuse to justify something shitty you did to folks?
You're a little narcissist. You're relentlessly gas lighting. Trying to convince me I'm wrong.
I enjoy hostility from others because I can undermine the hostile people, make them crash out, and they can't do shit other than get called out for playing the victim.
If someone is nice or neutral to me then I have to deal with the guilt that I'm manipulated and attacking their ego
you have no idea wtf you are talking about.
you're clearly just trolling, and just defined what being a troll is.
Yeah seen that before. Narcissist want to believe I'm being insincere to protect their ego. I'm trolling or rage baiting.
But if you believe I have no idea what I'm talking about then you don't need my approval
this entire thread you admitted many times to seek emotional gratification from other people.
you just keep contradicting yourself... and seem to see nothing wrong with this. OK.
I've done that in the past. and i work on absolutely destroying ego's for my amusement. it's my favorite hobby
yeah I enjoy it, i actually hesitant to encourage that behavior or give people advice on that. I don't want mentally abusive tactics being used by irresponsible people or other lesser narcissists.
